Raised in a suburb outside of Nashville, Tennessee, model Taylor Bagley is quite a fireball. Signing with Elite at age 16, Taylor entered a world that she was ready to take on. She left public school and began to home-school as she really began to work as a young model in Miami. Being so young in a such a contrasting environment, she fell into the dark spiral of parties and drugs. Elite believed very strongly in her but as they told her, Taylor was her own worst enemy. Nothing changed so Elite eventually dropped her and she later resigned with Wilhelmina.

Feeling restless and wanting to change her ways she left to go overseas. She lived in Australia, New Zealand, and Greece. It was her first time ever leaving the country and it was unforgettable as she was 18 and traveling across the world to live and work. Taylor worked very consistently and traveled for the next 8 months. She came back ready for the part in her life to begin. She ended up moving to Los Angeles and signing with Vision Models who she is still with today. She made a home there and worked very well, but still not feeling satisfied enough she decided it was time to go overseas again. Taylor left for Seoul, South Korea and worked there for 2 months. She recalls it being the most exhausting and demanding work but she got some absolutely beautiful tears. Having been in Korean Vogue and numerous magazines she was ready to head back to LA. Taylor’s friends were so stunned by all the work she did they insisted on her going to New York. And she did. She made the move in July of 2009, signing with Ford Models. She has been so fortunate to have worked with Ryan McGinley, David Gubert, Walter Chin, Ellen von Unwerth, since moving here.

Taylor has never been more serious about her career and is really opening up each and every time she has a shoot. She feels more expressive and alive than she ever has. She’s doing the things in her life now that make her happy, and it reflects in her photos. Part of expressing herself, she has numerous tattoos, one on her left wrist in Hebrew that means “Fulfill the Dream.” She also has one on her bicep that says “You’re So Cool,” from her favorite film True Romance. They are all reminders to her in everyday life.

Taylor’s family is very important to her and that is one of the loneliest aspects of this job, not getting to see them as often as she’d like. Without her family’s support she wouldn’t be where she’s at today. Taylor has learned that New York City can be tough but you’ve also got to breathe and treat everybody with love and respect.
